Effectiveness and safety of surgical glove compression therapy as a prophylactic method against nanoparticle albumin-bound-paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Breast, 2019
BACKGROUND We have developed a surgical glove (SG)-compression therapy and reported that this method significantly reduced the overall occurrence of grade 2 or higher nanoparticle albumin-bound-paclitaxel (nab-PTX)-induced peripheral neuropathy (PN) from

Compression therapy for venous disease

Phlebology: The Journal of Venous Disease, 2016
For centuries, compression therapy has been utilized to treat venous disease. To date it remains the mainstay of therapy, particularly in more severe forms such as venous ulceration. In addition to mechanisms of benefit, we discuss the evidence behind compression therapy, particularly hosiery, in various forms of venous disease of the lower ...

[Medical compression therapy].

Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie, 2001
In order to evaluate the correlation between the pressure exerted by compression stockings and a resulting improvement in venous hemodynamics, we carried out an open, randomized, prospective study on 22 patients (11 women and 11 men with an average age of 55.1 [10.3]) with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in the clinical stages C1-4, Ep, AS, Ap, PR ...
